Sigma Alpha I ota Sigma Alpha Iota is an international professional fraternity for women in the world of music. It is organized specifically to promote professional competen- cy and achievement within its field. Delta Pi chapter of Sigma Alpha Iota was established at APSU on May 9, 1965 and since then has continued to uphold the standards of the organization by remaining active in music functions. Membership is open to women music majors and minors and elementary education majors with a concentration in mus:c. Although small in number this year, the fraternity has undertaken many projects. In the fall, Delta Pi sponsored its annual Meet the Teach recital and reception in the music department. This gives new music students the oppor- tunity to get acquainted with the music faculty outside the classroom setting. A Baroque Musicale was held in November. Music students and faculty performed selections from the Baroque Era in a concert which was open to the public. In the spring the fraternity holds an American music concert in conjunc- tion with American Music Week. Delta Pi grants a scholarship annually to a well-qualified female music major. Auditions are held and the recipient is chosen by judges outside the music department. Other projects which the fraternity holds on a regular basis are doughnut sales, bake sales, receptions following recitals on campus and a variety of musical programs. The members of Sigma Alpha Iota are: tL-R, First Rom Valerie Waters. Jim Kirby, Carolyn Riggins, tSecond Rovn Ed Goddard, Debbie Wilson, Alicia Darby, Mary Reed, unknown and Jackie Fisher. 247
